JVMTI OOM handling when arrays / objects are too large

[David Holmes - Sun Microsystems]

Jeremy,

As I see it there was no consensus reached on whether this change should 
be made. I have some reservations as previously outlined, but Alan 
seemed to be of the view that the current situation was deliberately 
chosen - which implied to me (Alan correct me if I'm wrong) that he 
opposed the change.

It may be that including this case in the OOM onError handling is okay, 
but that the JVMTI event posting is not. But Alan will need to clarify 
his position on that.
